Abstract: A bale shredder may comprise a bale hopper defining an interior bale chamber for receiving a bale to be shredded, a bale shredding assembly to shred a bale in the chamber including a shredding rotor having a plurality of flails to contact a bale in the bale chamber, and a passage for receiving material shredded by the shredding rotor. In embodiments, a conveying assembly may facilitate material flow through the passage with a moving conveying surface. A collecting auger assembly may collect material ejected by the shredding rotor through the passage and may include an auger with an auger shaft rotatable about a rotation axis. In embodiments, a discharge assembly with a discharge rotor configured to receive the shredded material from the collecting auger assembly and expel the material through a discharge opening, and the discharge rotor may rotate on the auger shaft of the collecting auger assembly.
Abstract: A storage and shipping box includes first closing flaps of the exterior of the box that extend from a pair of opposing sides of the upper face of the box and that are capable of being sealed, stapled or glued in order to carry out one or several shipments. The box further includes second closing flaps of the exterior of the box that extend from the other opposing sides of the upper face of the box. The second flaps include a closing element to open and close the box as many times as needed and are capable of being used for the storage of products or for preparing orders before or after carrying out a shipment.
Abstract: A recycling separator system utilizes at least one, and preferably a series of cutters, which may be contained in sections whereby input is combined with fluid and directed through the cutters, such as in series, and then settled material may be removed through one of traps and sinks as at least a component of a first recycled material while floating material may be removed through float outputs as at least a component of a second recycled material.
Abstract: A mobile collapsible screen and cone crusher combination where the screen is pivoted forward and downward for transport and a rubber hopper is coupled to the fines conveyor so as to permit a hinged connection and a sliding connection between the flexible hopper and the fines conveyor. A plurality of flexible matter edge plates are used at the rear of the flexible hopper to facilitate proper compression and expansion of the flexible hopper. A selectable maintenance catch is used to allow the screen to be elevated to an intermediate height for maintenance.
Abstract: A food processor includes a base, a container having a side wall and an open end including a rim, and a lid for engaging the open end of the container in an operating position and a storage position. The lid has a top wall with a first and second principal surface, an annular ledge with a first and second side, and a food chute extending from the first principal surface generally parallel to a longitudinal axis of the top wall. The food chute has a length and extends away from the container with the second side of the annular ledge contacting the rim of the container when the lid is in the operating position. When the lid is in the storage position, the food chute extends into an interior of the container with the first side of the annular ledge contacting the rim of the container.
Abstract: In an arrangement for processing excavated materials including a material crushing device and a classifier to which the crushed material is supplied for screening, the classifier includes a leveling structure which provides for a desired orientation of the classifier relative to a horizontal plane independently of the orientation of the crushing device.
Abstract: An apparatus for preparing plant material, such as sugar cane, comminutes the material for further processing, for example, by cane mills or a diffuser. An upfront cutter (2) and a shredder (8) are immediately adjoining each other at the end of an adjustable speed conveyor (1). A material guide housing forms with its guide channel sections an inverted V-shape. One guide channel section reaches upwardly and extends over the discharge gap (6a) of the upfront cutter. Another guide channel section reaches downwardly to the shredder. An intermediate guide channel section interconnects the upwardly and downwardly reaching sections to form a closed guide channel construction. An upper channel wall portion remote from the upfront cutter and from the shredder forms an impact and deflection baffle (11c) for the precomminuted material ejected by the upfront cutter for feeding the material to the shredder. The apparatus is compact and assures a uniform material feed to the shredder.

Abstract: A solid fuel pulverizer especially useful in a system for pulverizing and burning solid fuel, such as coal or other fossil fuel, that is characterized by a possible turndown ratio of up to at least fifteen to one. The pulverizer is capable of both impact and autogenous pulverizing of the fuel so that about 80% will be no more than 40 microns in size and includes a series of impellers mounted for rotation on a preferably vertical shaft in a housing whose top wall has openings for the admission of air and a solid fuel to be pulverized. The fuel is pulverized by impact against the side walls of the housing and descends perpherially of the impellers to discharge adjacent to the bottom of the housing.
Abstract: A colander system comprising a vertical stack of similar colanders respectively having openings of different sizes in at least the lower portions thereof, the uppermost colander having the openings of largest size and the lowermost colander having openings of the smallest size, the uppermost colander being adapted to receive relatively stale bakery products capable of being comminuted when engaged by a pestle member by forcing the products through the openings of the uppermost colander and successively smaller sized particles sifting through the lower colanders progressively for final disposition within a receptacle below the lowermost colander and said colanders having means thereon to maintain the same in stacked relationship, the uppermost colander also having a closure to maintain bakery products in sanitary conditions until the same are to be comminuted.
